Poem
I can feel your inner pain although I know this can’t be so, running through my own veins after many years of your soul leaving this world for so much more It’s been almost sixty-two years since your presence roamed this earth, but you are memorialized within so many that feels as you once did with a sadness of self-worth You may not be here with us in body, but you are in spirit and soul, so many people idolize you and you don’t even know Your face it can still be seen through the pixels of a photograph, and it’s almost as though if you listen closely enough, we can still hear your laugh You were a symbol on and off the silver screen, you truly did shine like a diamond, but you really didn’t care for the material things Oh, the thing that you craved most it appeared you could never have, and so many still left on this earth are just like you living in their own grief feeling so sad Those who only appreciated your beauty and your status and admired your beautiful face, if they looked deep enough within you, they would have seen Norma’s disgrace How she tried to become a person that she thought would make her so happy, but Marilyn didn’t change her heart she just made it more difficult to see The scars, the emotional ones, the demons in your head, we all have them we just can’t hide them as well as you my dear, once did Your beautiful life was short lived and those who came after you, they can only look at your pictures and read stories others have written about you Who knows the real you, who can say if anyone really ever did? You seem to me a lot like the rest of us, a woman still wrapped up emotionally within the shell of a little kid Oh, looking at your photos we would all love to look that way, I guess that’s why there is a little Jean in all of us, but Monroe is the one we display We don’t want to show our pain and we disguise the tears we have cried, underneath a beautiful façade that nothing but emptiness lies inside So, I feel for the little girl that you once were that seemed so lost from the start, I feel for the beautiful young girl who longed for true love with all of her heart I feel for the woman that you had to pretend to be, and I feel for the sexualized symbol that you turned into, that never lived long enough to see I feel for Norma Jean, and I feel for Marilyn Monroe, such a beautiful masterpiece of a lovely woman, that only wanted the one thing she couldn’t grasp that eventually broke her soul.
